Notice that he's been teaching for 20 years. Most new teachers would be reluctant to do this especially now that districts have 'pay for performance' plans where supervisors have much more control over salaries.
Sure does seem like a school board infused with self-entitlement...

They missed a great opportunity to teach the kids of their school a lesson in civics because they were to hung up on their own importance.
The questionnaire should not have had kids names on them. Simple fix, take the names off.
The insistence that their way was correct, rather than seeing the validity of the points raised by the teacher reinforces only bad stereotypes about 'The System'....

That school district might be well served by a few more 'new members', like the sole dissenting vote.
